Frequently asked questions
Should Vibe Lite be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
